: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the major public health concerns, which has a high prevalence rate and causes significant decline in men's quality life. BPH highly related to sexual hormone metabolism aging. In particular, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone modified by 5α-reductase (5AR), effect on development. DHT binds an androgen receptor (AR) steroid coactivator 1 (SRC-1); then, it induces proliferation prostate cell expression specific antigen (PSA). Paecilomyces...
